For the Curt Echo # C51180 on your Android Phone you will need to ensure that Bluetooth is on.
You will also want to ensure that the Curt application does have all permissions turned on in the phone settings menu. Go to your phone settings and look for the applications category, then select the Curt app. Under the Curt app you will see a tab for permissions. You will need to allow all the permissions to ensure the app is allowed to use the functions it needs to properly function on your... view full answer...
Based on the pictures you provided they used the same circuit breaker for powering the 12v pin on the 7-way connector and the trailer brake controller that you have in your 2018 Subaru Outback Wagon which is not correct.
This is not how the kit should be installed as the 12v power pin requires a 40 amp circuit breaker, while most trailer brake controllers use a 20 amp circuit breaker if the trailer you are towing has 1 or 2 braking axles (2-4 braking assemblies) or a 30 amp circuit breaker... view full answer...
We've had the chance to install brake controllers on 2016 and 2020 Subaru Outback Wagons and we found that for both vehicles the color of the wire for the stoplight circuit was brown. It's not uncommon for some vehicles to randomly get different colored wires from time to time so what you'll need to do is use a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 to test all of the wires until you find the circuit that has voltage only when the brakes are applied. view full answer...
The tire chains part # PWRS79 that fit the tire size of 225/65-17 that you have on your 2022 Subaru Outback Wagon are totally fine to use with AWD vehicles with ABS systems. Like with any winter driving your ABS system is probably going to be working differently in the snow but the chains will give you a ton more traction. AWD is not an issue at all.
I attached an install video for these chains on a similar Outback for you to check out as well. view full answer...
Sorry to hear about the troubles you're having with the 7-Way RV Upgrade Kit for Trailer Brake Controller Installation # ETBC7L on your 2022 Subaru Outack Wagon.
Apart from checking for blown fuses, the only other thing you'll want to verify is, that your grounds are secured properly to a clean, bare metal surface.
You'll also want to verify that your trailer connectors as well as your grounds are clean and free of rust and corrosion.
If you're still having issues after checking, let... view full answer...
It sounds like you're needing to install the Load Resistor Kit # DI34ZR so the Hopkins Wiring Kit # HM11143885 on your 2016 Subaru Outback Wagon is able to read the trailer lighting system properly. What these basically do is pull a little more power for the trailer lights which makes it easier for the vehicle to recognize the trailer is connected. I recommend installing the resistors closer to the trailer connector rather than the lights so you don't have to get a resistor for each individual... view full answer...
I spoke with Yakima about this and what could have happened is the pads on the brackets of your Yakima MegaWarrior Cargo Basket became worn and now have lost grip. You Probably need to replace the clamps to get a better grip, but unfortunately, they are no longer available.
I've linked to a video review of this clamp for you to look at so you can see what you need. We do have several reports from customers of the Rola Bracket, part # 59506, working very well to secure Yakima baskets to... view full answer...
Thank you for your purchase of towing components for your 2008 Subaru Outback Wagon including Curt wiring harness # C55370.
The yellow wire on this 4-pole harness carries both turn and brake light signals for the left-side light. Since your harness' left side output is always solid (it does not blink) then this suggests that the harness is damaged.
Please note that we do offer a custom-fit harness for the 2008 Outback Wagon (as long as it is not the Sport edition), part # 118461 from... view full answer...
That is going to be a tricky one of the bolts on your Yakima Landing Pad 15 # Y00241 is rusted in place. We generally will use BP blaster on rusted bolts and it has proven to be pretty effective. If that does not do the trick you could try using a left handed drill bit of screw extractor tool like the # PT92CV. This kit includes 5 reverse drill bits and 5 screw extractors which will allow you to remove most screw sizes. view full answer...
The issue you are experiencing is likely that the lift struts and motor aren't able to support the extra weight of the bike rack itself on the hatch. The motorized hatch is designed to retract when it experiences resistance like if it were to hit a garage door for instance when opening. In this case it is the safety feature that you are having issue with. You will have to use the manual lift function and may need to even support the hatch when opened. view full answer...
It does sound like there is a short or other problem inside the converter box of Curt trailer wiring harness # C56040. The only fix is to replace the harness with a new one on your 2013 Subaru Outback. I recommend the Tow Ready harness # 118467 because we hear about less issues with them. I have included a link to a video showing an example installation. view full answer...
The first thing you will want to check is the in line fuse on trailer wiring harness # 118467. If it is blown or missing that could be the root of the problem.
Installing this harness can be a little tricky if the vehicle has factory backup sensors. Make sure you are plugging it in at the correct locations. I have included a picture that should help.
To test the harness you will use your test light and test the wires going into the converter from the vehicle. If there is no power going... view full answer...
We do have water inlet fittings, like the Valterra Water Inlet for RVs # A01-0176LFVP, that would replace the entry fitting on the outside of your pop up camper if you decide to replace that fitting.
To replace the water lines inside/under your camper, typically PEX pipes and fittings are used to make those connections. We do not have these available for purchase, but they are usually available at your local hardware store. view full answer...
Because the converter box used on the # 118461 draws its electrical power directly from the battery, the fact that your trailer tail lights continue to illuminate after the vehicle ignition is shut off indicates that the converter box has shorted out.
This is almost always caused by a short circuit somewhere in the trailer wiring, most likely the running light circuit. Before replacing the converter, you will need to carefully examine the wiring on your trailer, beginning at the trailer... view full answer...
It sounds as though there may be a damaged pin connector in the wiring. I recommend going to the connector on the 2011 Subaru Outback where the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56040 connects. Pull apart this connection and check to ensure that all he pins on the harness are securely in place.
You can also check the voltage coming into the connector to ensure that there is not something wrong with the fuses or wiring on your Outback. view full answer...
Instead of trying to contact the small terminals try puncturing the wire with a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 that has a needle tip and is designed for this exact thing. Since we haven't installed a controller on your vehicle yet we don't know which color it would be. But I am confident that with the proper tester like the # 3808 you would have no problem finding the right one.
Please email back with which wire it is if you don't mind. view full answer...
There are a couple things you can try if you are having trouble getting the muffler hangers back on your 2017 Subaru Outback with Draw-Tite # 75673. You can try bending the hanger using vice grips or a cheater bar to create more clearance, or replace the rubber isolator with a shorter one, which can be found at an auto parts store.

The Curt Auxiliary LED Indicator Lights # C53201 being an LED kit has very little power draw so even a slight connection issue can drastically impact function. I recommend cleaning each connection with sand paper and then using dielectric grease # 11755 to make sure the connections keep moisture and corrosion out.
if that doesn't solve the issue with function, then next step for LED lights is to add load resistors like # DI34ZR for the functions. This will create a draw like a light... view full answer...
There are several potential causes for some trailer lighting functions to not work while others do. It could be something as simple as a bit of corrosion on the connector pins (which can appear as a slight whitish or greenish film), a blown fuse or missing relay in the tow vehicle, a short in the wiring somewhere on the vehicle or trailer, or an insufficient ground. You can do a visual inspection of the wiring to check for worn spots or cracks in the insulation that could cause a short.... view full answer...
The easiest way to get a locked Sportrack Cargo carrier unlocked would be to get a replacement key that matches the lock core to unlock the box. Take a look at the lock core on your carrier and look for a lock number, you can then take that lock number and type THKEYN### into our search box with the ### being your lock core number. For example if your lock core is 085 then you can type in # THKEYN085 to get the correct key.
